'I can't sign in to microsoft using a public Wi-Fi
I have connected to public Wi-Fi that probably blocks me from some sites. I installed a vpn that enables me access those blocked website but I still can't sign in to Microsoft.
I recently installed a new Windows 10, when I downloaded Visual Studio web Installer, it wasn't installing because it couldn't download the files using the public wifi, while with the same wifi, I downloaded and installed Visual Studio onthe previous Windows 10 that I was using.
I dont know if the problem is from the new Windows 10 or the WiFi's firewall rules have been elavated.

You can try installing it with open DNS.
For that, open your CMD, type ipconfig/all
there, look for your ipv4 address, default gateway and subnet and note it.
Now go to your Control Panel -> Network and Sharing -> Select the network/wifi you're connected to, enter image description here
Click on properties, look for the ipv4 checkbox and click on it, then advance. There you need to select the option to manually enter ip address. Now add that IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask you noted before.
Add DNS manually and set values to : 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
